Wellness Coach

Hi, I’m Dean, Director of a private practice called Personal Edge Consultancy.

I have been a registered nurse for over 36 years with extensive experience in paediatric nursing, nurse education, and nurse management. During this time, I have had the privilege of teaching more than 600 nursing students across two states in their diploma and bachelor courses.

I have worked in the public and private healthcare settings as well as in not-for-profit and for-profit organisations. This experience has given me valuable insights into relationship management, organisational change, and accreditation processes.

My journey has always been about growth, both personally and professionally. Since 2006, I have been immersed in the world of personal development, learning from some of the most inspiring coaches, leaders, and mentors in the field.

Today, as a certified coach and facilitator, I have delivered over 14,000 hours of one-to-one coaching and designed and delivered customised training programs for more than 5,000 healthcare professionals across Australia. My workshops focus on leadership, emotional intelligence, communication, workplace culture, grief and loss, mental health, and stress management.

I now host Wellness Retreats where I bring together experts in the fields of wellness, human performance, positive psychology and ancient philosophy. The Wellness Retreats series provides people with the knowledge, tools, techniques and practices to become the best wellness version of themselves.
